Are you replacing the filter too? The replacement filter comes with a new seal, Honda P/N 16952-388-015.

I do not plan to replace filter. And buying whole kit for 40usd (incl shipping to Europe) is simply too much for gasket only

It's definitely flat. I had to cut a larger one to make one that fit.

And dimensions? Thickness?

I didn’t measure it. I just cut a hardware store faucet washer down to fit inside the petcock’s threads. The inner hole was pretty large, leaving the remaining surface no more than 2mm wide. The thickness (which was probably SAE) was pretty close to 2mm, maybe 1.5mm. It works fine.
